CMWA: Canadian Masters Windsurfing Association http://windsurf.twooldbeans.com Just another Twooldbeans Blogs weblog Mon, 05 Apr 2010 21:00:05 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Dryden Date Advisory http://windsurf.twooldbeans.com/events/dryden-date-advisory/ http://windsurf.twooldbeans.com/events/dryden-date-advisory/#comments Tue, 22 Dec 2009 23:29:58 +0000 http://www.windsurf.ca/events/dryden-date-advisory/ Even though it is now officially winter and skimming over the water in warm summer breezes seems too far in the future to imagine, planning the 2010 CMWA Championships in Dryden is in full swing. 

This is a reminder that the event will take place in Dryden on August 6 to 8, 2010. It is important to note that the dates are a departure from the normal timing of our event in that they do not include the Civic Holiday Monday which occurs on August 2nd. Make your travel plans early to avoid the region’s summer holidayers and those planning to be in Dryden for the Centennial festivities.

Check here regularly for updates on the event.

All the best in 2010 and I hope to see you in Dryden.

The CMWA Championship race offers recognition for all ages of windsurfers, from youth to Olympian, from beginner to pro.

Steph and I have been lucky enough to do our first days of sailing in the warm waters and winds of Bonaire.

Very quickly CMWA activities commence in late May with the Spring Clinic and Get-Together at the Burgess Cottages in Port Bolster on beautiful Lake Simcoe. As usual, it will give those of us who haven’t been on the water yet a chance to and wash the cobwebs off our equipment, tune up for the summer and share in some fun with good friends.

As you’ve seen in the Fall issue of Masters Matters, there are several activities in June to participate in. The highlight of the summer will be the CMWA Championships in St Anicet, Quebec from August 1-4. This is going to be an exciting time because we will be sharing the venue with a Quebec windsurfing event and bringing a large group of windsurfers together. Please plan to come to St Anicet.

See you on the water!!
